Revival

Found this boring perhaps because this plot has been done before,with a slight storyline that varies wrapped in mysteries.

The cast and acting was average,you didn't care or like anyone & the cinematography was drab.

Was clichéd & plotholes.. I realize you shouldn't judge a series by one episode,but it should hook you enough to come back.. Was the reveal finding out a sibling was dead,really cliffhanger worthy? No! Even showing what's to come on the season,didn't have me sitting on the edge of my seat.

I mean yawn! A single mom that seems stuck in a small town,with a chip on her shoulder & parent or sibling issues.

Unless the storylines each episode become intriguing,don't feel this will make my weekly watch list.

If you like this type of television genre to watch check it out,otherwise find something else to invest in.. Examples: Glitch or Travelers.

On a final note: People mention 4400 & how this one doesn't compare,that show didn't deal with dead but those who disappeared returning.. So,not exactly accurate.

A perfect cast and superb direction brings the original comic story to life under the showrunners of Aaron and Luke. The Cypresses have to deal with drama from Revivers and its a roller coaster of who is the main suspect with more twists and turns than a Twizzler. Melanie Scrofano brings the same intensity and wit as Wynonna Earp to a new family drama. Romy Weltman is wonderful as Em, struggling to deal with trauma both past and present. A real who dunnit, which resonates in today's climate much more than your ready for. Edge of the seat cliffhangers each week leave you wanting more of it all.

I loved the show...so far, that is. It had thrills and some unexpected things going on; however, my other half came into the room and said, "So Wynonna became the sheriff?" If you're going to do a show like this...you may want to get different actors that haven't played in some other show that is somewhat similar. To tell the truth though Melanie Scrofano wasn't recognizable to me. I guess some people remember faces better than others. But, the same thing somewhat happened when we watched SurrealEstate...I didn't realize that Tim Rozon was the same guy that played Doc Holliday, which is weird when they make them look so different.

As a fan of the mystical sci-fi genre, I can say - the pilot turned out solid. The atmosphere is surprisingly cohesive, the direction confident, and the cast is average overall.

Melanie Scrofano - familiar from Wynonna Earp - fits organically into the dark tone of the story. There's something reminiscent of Preacher: that same strange, apocalyptic energy bordering on the absurd.

It's a shame the episodes are released weekly rather than all at once, which is frustrating in the streaming era. Still, the wait might actually build anticipation.

In the end, it's a solid genre piece that knows how to keep you intrigued. Recommended for those who appreciate a dark atmosphere, philosophical undertones, and quality execution.

As a resident of Wausau, and a fan of the comic its based off of, I was surprised at how this is turing out. Its not spot on to the comic, but its doing it justice. Its definitely a great take on the whole zombie genre. When the show was first annouced, the whole city was talking about it. It was featured in the news online and all over Facebook. Now, its not filmed in Wausau, minus some shots that are in-between actual scenes, but its still pretty awesome to see your home town mentioned over and over again. Still cant believe a comic I read years ago, became an actual show, and not a low budget one at that. Definitely wirth the watch.
